The Ask…. the important piece, how you connect with your audience and how they connect with you. Everyone wants attention in some way. On the opera stage sometimes you get flowers and sometimes tomatoes thrown at you.
But how work the podcast sphere? What do you get there?

Transcripts
Martin:
Welcome to Presentation Skills Q and A. I am Martin Lindesgoog.
Martin:
Hi Karina.
Carina:
Hi Martin, how are you today?
Martin:
I'm doing okay.
Martin:
Yourself?
Carina:
Yeah. Well, I'm doing okay as well.
Carina:
Interesting to talking to you again.
Carina:
Yes, we have been talking around our podcast show notes and transcripts and how you as a
Carina:
podcaster meet your audience.
Carina:
But today we're going to do the other way.
Carina:
How should the audience meet the podcaster.
Martin:
Here and that now with new podcast apps like Fountain and podverse and others you
Martin:
could be more almost like a co creator and you could cook producer with the podcast.
Martin:
So you insert or you come with feedback in real time when you're listening for example at
Martin:
live identity tag as if we call it or a quick response after episode is published and then
Martin:
you could send a digital telegram with a note of appreciation like a token like it calls
Martin:
satushi's.
Martin:
That's something that's coming that you could
Martin:
get this interaction.
Carina:
Yes, just the interaction that's so important because I can relate to my former
Carina:
occupation when I was a singer.
Carina:
You can go out to the audience and ask them to
Carina:
give you applause but you always get something back from the audience.
Carina:
Sometimes you got flowers and sometimes you got to waiters but you got in a reaction
Carina:
anyway.
Carina:
So how should you do it when you have a
Carina:
podcast?
Martin:
Yeah, that's the so called tricky questions is to ask.
Martin:
Dare to ask and think about ask and then also receive and confirm that you have got feedback
Martin:
and then rinse and repeat and then do it again, ask again.
Martin:
So dare to ask what you want to have support help with.
Martin:
For example, it's this expression time, talent and treasure.
Martin:
So for example, when the time of course the listener, the audience taking their time to
Martin:
listen they could also take a little time to spread the good word.
Martin:
Give a tip, a suggestion to potentially new listener and then to the talent.
Martin:
If you need help in the production or in the workflow or the marketing of a podcast could
Martin:
be one thing and then treasure.
Martin:
So monetary feedback like a financial
Martin:
transaction.
Martin:
And with this new podcast initiative
Martin:
Podcasting 2.0 you could send small amounts micro payments through something called
Martin:
Lightning Network and then it satushes a bit of bitcoin.
Martin:
So there you have it.
Martin:
But then of course you could get feedback via
Martin:
PayPal, via coffee in my case buy me tea to joke many ways of doing it.
Carina:
I heard that the ask is one of the most important things and I've read somewhere
Carina:
that the reason why people do not give anything, they just listen and they don't give
Carina:
anything back is because they haven't been asked.
Carina:
Is it so?
Martin:
Yeah, that's the case often and some organizations non for profit and others they
Martin:
are very good at that.
Carina:
So you shouldn't be afraid of asking.
Martin:
So maybe we should do that also then?
Carina:
Yes, we should.
Carina:
So we do an example.
Martin:
Go ahead.
Martin:
We ask you, the listeners, to take some time
Martin:
and download a new podcast app, for example, Fountain and podverse.
Martin:
And then you could give us a positive feedback loop with a note digital telegram.
Martin:
So that's one example of an ask.
Carina:
Thank you. Martin. Well, I think we should give our Pod a plow because now we have
Carina:
making this Pod together for at least four years now.
Carina:
We are still going on.
Martin:
Yeah, we are.
Martin:
And we're looking forward to your feedback.
Martin:
Thanks.
Carina:
Listener yes, we do.
Carina:
Thank you so much.
Carina:
Well, nice to talk to you about this topic, Martin.
Carina:
We will continue with this.
Martin:
Yeah, we're looking forward to this and get your feedback, as we said.
